The performance requirements of many sports goods often demand widely on different properties. Also the textile must fulfill the requirements such as fit, comfort, drape and easy movements of the consumers. The active sportswear fabrics has been developed in recent years and progressing towards high functions and to achieve comfort. The focus is to diversify the sportswear textiles in fibrous material and technology in manufacturing. The factors contributing for developing active sportswear fabrics are: polymer/fiber science, production and finishing techniques to obtain a sophisticated fiber, modified structure of yarns and fabrics. In this study, the sportswear are developed from polypropylene and tencel fibers by using a knitting technique, Ponte de roma structure (double layer knitted fabric by interlock structure) and analyzed for their various properties such as structural, mechanical and comfort properties of the knitted fabric samples.&#13;
